Today’s journey included two stops at very popular restaurants, Burger King and McDonalds. Burger King has had a recent initiative to go full-blast against McDonalds including their breakfast sandwich and the $1 Buck Double burger. The target of the Buck Double is the $1 McDouble which recently replaced the Double Cheeseburger on the Value Menu. Today I decided to do an official side by side comparison and here are the results.

I realize it’s almost Christmas and soon everyone will want to lose weight but does Men’s Health really have to call the following burgers the worst fast-food burgers? How about the fattest burgers or the most calories for your dollar burgers. The “worst” part about the entire article is that they are calling out some of the best burgers available. Here’s a quick recap (and a here’s a link to the full article): Continue Reading

The Japanese must really love Windows 7 because everyone is doing something special…everyone including Burger King. Why not celebrate the release of the latest Windows product by eating a 7 Patty Whopper. BusinessWeek is reporting that the seven-patty burger weighs more than 1.4 lbs., is nearly 5 inces tall and contains 2,120 Calories. (Remember that most daily diet recommendations are for 2,000 calories.)Continue Reading

The Whopper is as legendary as John Wayne (the burger version of John Wayne) and I love the commercials for the Whopper Jr. Now it’s time for the official Whopper Jr. review. Realizing that I’ve been a Whopper fan since birth (or as soon as I had teeth) I have to say that the easiest statement is that the Whopper Jr. is exactly the same as a Whopper, only smaller.

By wet I mean that the Whopper Jr. carries with it a juicy patty, great mayo sauce, shredded lettuce and great tomato that together make it completely edible without a drink. That’s hard to do with a burger and one of the things I love about a summer Whopper Jr. Continue Reading

Burger King is ready to jump to the big stage of Nascar. In a match made in Whopper Heaven, Burger King and famous Nascar racer Tony Stewart are rolling out some new celebrity endorsements. I guess if it’s good enough for Tony, it’s good enough for me is the theme of choice. The first commercial will feature Tony Stewart teaching other celebrities how to properly endorse a product. The next commercials will feature Tony taking a polygraph test to prove he loves Whoppers. Continue Reading

I think I’m turning Japanese, I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so….or at least I’m thinking about it today. Japan is the second largest economy in the world and even the burger gods know that. Apparently Burger King is launching their newest burger there and went all out in Downtown Tokyo to promote this new Burger King “Angry Whopper“. The idea: Scream away your frustrations for the chance to win a year’s supply of Whoppers. Can you imagine how much fun it would have been to be in downtown Tokyo, by a Burger King, and hearing people yelling things like, “I need a girlfriend” or “I need to pass my test”. Continue Reading
